Cast Off Worry

“I have a better worrier than you and all the angels. He lies in a cradle and clings to a virgin’s breast, and yet he is at the same time seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. Therefore, be satisfied. Amen.” (Luther 106)

I can really relate to Catherine Luther. She is in a state of worry and fear. This seems so reasonable, to worry for your husband’s health. There are so many fears that I harbor in my mind that seem completely reasonable- school, finances, jobs, etc. Luther’s letter really served as a reminder to me. There is nothing that worrying does to fix any of my problems. In fact, worrying displays a severe lack of faith. Here at the end of the semester, I truly find myself in a state of needing to trust God so much more than I usually do. I pray, as Luther did, that I can remember Christ and trust rather than worry and stress about the things that are out of my control while faithfully stewarding the things that are.
